Forward fold

  1. Start standing up straight with your feet hip-width apart.
  2. Hinge from the hips to move your hands towards the ground.
  3. Stand still and feel the stretch in the back of your legs.

Points of attention

  • Keep the back as straight as possible.
  • Keep a slight bend in the knees.

Variations

  • Move your hands from one foot to the other to focus more on an individual leg.
  • Standing forward fold with a twist
    • Put your feet wider than hip-width apart. Put one hand on the ground (bend your knees if necessary) and move the other hand towards the ceiling. This helps to stretch the back.
